  1. I have seen when some guys cut it down, they used a hole saw to put a large hole opposite the through the hub exhaust, looked like a good ideal I thought for cooling
  2. Unless things have changed since I last fished Lake O., 2.4 mph is slower than I ever trolled , 2.75 was the usual starting point.
  3. About the age of 30, which was 40 years ago I came to the conclusion that for mono over 10 pound or any trolling , level wind reels were the better choice.
  4. 524 was my clock number as well, much smaller place
  5. Actually when the flyers come weekly from the grocers, they have the price per pound in large bold type and the metric in fine print. Most stuff is still packaged in pounds but they call it 454 grams now. The best is the frozen burgers from Costco, you can get 1/4 , 1/3 and 1/2 pound burgers but the total weight of the package is metric. Really it is a hybrid system even after 30 years, kind of like the forums here, everyone seems to do the temperature and weather in metric , but still catch 4 pound, 20 inch Bass on a 7 foot rod using 10 pound test in 15 feet of water from a 14 foot tinner
  6. Pretty much how the media works today Harley Biker A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Louisiana when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.' The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.' The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page...So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?' The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.' The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days
  7. Slice them and fry with eggs for real Canadian Bacon and Eggs
  8. Love those things, half the price of ground beef. Frequently find the cryovac packaged for $1.99 a pound at the supermart, but the quality of the Costco ones is better and grab them when they are $4 off. Get a dozen or more boneless chops out of the centre cut and the ends go in the pressure cooker for pulled pork or the wok for stir fries.
  9. Wait till I drizzle Sriracha sauce over it 🤣
  10. I get this from Costco, try throwing a few beaten eggs in it as well, a little scrambled egg in the mix makes a good breakfast.
  11. I may be a skeptic but I expect by the time the whole population is vaccinated it will have mutated enough that a new vaccine will be required and we have to start a new round, welcome to the new normal.
  12. Think it was the 80's, anyone else remember " swish " it was popular with the East Coasters at work.
  13. I kept my primary fermenter and 4 - 5 gallon carboys, thought I might get back into it when I retired, that was almost 13 years ago 🤣. Think there is even a few cases of non twist off , green Amstel bottles in the furnace room, they were the best. edit : could actually do wine with that equipment 🤔
  14. Yeah, I always used a secondary and waited until fermentation had stopped, adding a precise amount of sugar to carbonate in the bottle, Dad was obviously in a hurry to get a drinkable brew.
  15. I brewed for years, but nothing fancy. I used the canned stuff from Brew Canada, had a big primary that would do a double batch (10 Gallons). It looks like a plastic laundry tub but with a tap on the side at the bottom and a air tight snap lid with a hole in the centre for an airlock. After the primary fermentation was done in about 5 days I would rack it down into 2 X 5 gallon glass carboys with airlocks for 3-4 weeks before bottling. To bottle I racked the carboy into a 5 gallon bucket with a tap on the bottom , add a cup of dextrose and bottled and capped in regular beer bottles, took a month to develop good carbonation. I did do a few additives later like hops, it was quite good I thought and never lost a batch. A double batch was about 5 1/2 cases I recall , was 28 ahead at the start of summer once 🤪
  16. Maybe someone carpeted oak treads, problem solved
  17. You ever hear the old joke about how many animals you can find in a pair of panty hose ?
  18. I tied a bunch of smaller streamers with calf or kip tail, looked similar.
  19. Can you even still get Rothmans ? smoked them from 1969 to maybe 1990 when I switched the "Rez Brands " , quit about 15 years ago.
  20. Caught all 4 too, Lakers both L. Ontario and the Haliburton strain , even a difference there. Lots of Specs and when the stocking programs in Haliburton went to Splake, them too, during the change, both in the same lake at times, even a ton of those Laker backcross Splake in the Bighead and Beaver during the 80's/90's. The tail doesn't look perfectly square drooped over the rock but isn't near as forked as a full blooded Laker and I find most Lakers have a somewhat laterally compressed head compared to a Spec and the jawline does extend as far back as a Laker, Lakers have a pretty big yap on them compared to a Spec. Doesn't look Laker to me, early spring Specs are not nearly as colourful as later.
  21. I live in the Lincoln, Grimsby , Beamsville area, the first time I saw those letters in print , local paper, I wondered what the letters after LGB stood for ??? True story
  22. OK, that grand is on top of the pricey, I assume, sticker price of the hybrid truck , not the regular gas version. Still for a contractor that needs power tools off grid , sure beats one of those power inverters looking at the stuff it can power. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2021-ford-f-150-powerboost-hybrid-features-and-specs/
